Interview with MingBin Yang : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?.

The exhibition hall mainly displays furniture products, so, designers regard the space as a piece of drawing paper, and products as content of this paper. They varied the scenes with the series’ styles, and changed the painting heart constantly. To improve the stereoscopic impression of the rectangular space, in aspect of floor planning, we adopted the method of parting off the building blocks to purely divide the space, and by combining reflection of the mirror surface, extending the space in proper area. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work?
